APPLICATION STEPS (ALL STUDENTS)
Step 1: Complete the ESOL Start Here Form.

To complete the application, you must have either a U.S.-issued social security number or an ACC-issued Alternate ID (NOT an ITIN). If you do not have a social security number or ACC-issued Alternate ID, please choose Option 1 or 2 below. If you already have a social security number or ACC-issued Alternate ID, you may choose Option 1, 2, or 3.
Option 1 – In-Person:
Visit one of the Continuing Education Offices at the following times and locations: https://continue.austincc.edu/campus-locations. Bring your social security number or ACC Alternate ID (if you have one).
Option 2 – By Email:
Download the CE ESOL Paper application, fill it out, and send it to ceregistration@austincc.edu. Include your social security number or ACC Alternate ID (if you have one) on the form.
Option 3 – Secure Online Application:
Before beginning the online application process, watch this video and review this guide:
-
- Create an application account. You will receive a follow-up email from ACC. Follow the email instructions to set up an application account password.
- Use your username and password to complete the application. In the social security section, use your U.S.-issued Social Security Number or ACC-issued Alternate ID.
- Wait for an email from ceregistration@austincc.edu that says “Your Application Is Complete.” The email will contain your new ACCeID number.
Step 3: After you have completed an ACC application and received your ACCeID, move ahead to placement testing.
